I did ask motability and they said they recommend getting work done through insurance claim but that it was up to me if I wanted to get it fixed outside of this.
ok, the professionals don’t use a brush, they use the fine tip of a piece of rolled up newspaper, I have tried it several years ago it work fine, if it metallic don’t forget the lacquer coat otherwise the repair will be flat.
Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally I get confused and often say the wrong thing.
